西方东京审判研究源流论

Western Academic Studies on the Tokyo Trial

西方学界东京审判研究有三条取径:一是远东国际军事法庭史研究;二是东京审判历史学研究;三是东京审判法学研究。霍洛维茨奠立了第一条取径的基本框架。帕尔的法官异议意见书经过麦尼尔的演绎后进入学界,两者对东京审判的抨击和反思开辟了后两条取径。2008年前后,西方学者开始拓展档案文献的范围,并引入日文学术成果,从而与世界其它地区的同行展开对话。

Western academic circles have generally adopted the following three approaches to the research into the Tokyo Trial ： study on the history of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East ; the historical study of the Tokyo Trial ; the legal study of the Tokyo Trial. While Solis Horwitz established the basic framework for the first approach, RadhaBinod Pal＇ s Dissent entered the academic community with interpretation by Richard H. Minear and their attacks at and reflections on the Tokyo Trial contributed to the birth of the other two routes. Around 2008, western scholars expanded the range of documents, taking in Japanese academic materials, and began to communicate with fellow scholars in other parts of the world.
